WHAT IS TRUTH WANTED? 🤔

Truth Wanted is a show about getting to the bottom of beliefs, whether it’s karma or Christ, Bigfoot or crystals. Truth Wanted would like to know how you know it’s true.

Hosted by ObjectivelyDan, Truth Wanted takes calls from the community (that means YOU!) and features new guests every week, emphasizing thorough conversations over name-calling and scoffing (most of the time). Truth Wanted focuses on how and why people believe what they believe, and how you can talk about beliefs in more effective ways.

    Truth Wanted 09.16 2026 with Godless Engineer and Robotgoat (@RBTGT )
    Apr 18 2026
    In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Godless Engineer and Robotgoat launch an educational battle against ancient myths! They tackle the logical hurdles of deism, the supposed precognition of prophets, and the foundational myths of intelligent design. Can critical thinking dismantle a God-shaped void, or are we destined to fall for the same old supernatural traps.

    Jim claims deism will fill the void left by declining Abrahamic faiths. The hosts challenge the utility of a creator that cannot be defined or proven, emphasizing critical thinking over vague platitudes. Is a vague God better than no God at all.

    Marcus-New Zealand argues that prophet Ellen White possessed precognition by predicting a magazine meeting. The hosts identify this as planning rather than a supernatural event, given her son's involvement. Why would a deity prioritize magazine edits over peace.

    AA asserts that the human eye and purpose in nature prove a designer. The hosts dismantle his misconceptions about evolution and explain chromosomal fusion as evidence of common ancestry. Can logical fallacies ever stand up to the fossil record.

    In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and Brantley, the Punk Apostate, dismantle the illusions of objective morality and explore the cosmos!

    Amber discusses terraforming Venus via floating sky cities and hydrogen efficiency in CO2 atmospheres. The hosts debate the energy needed to spin the planet and using robots for engineering. Could this be humanity's next home?

    John in Canada questions the motives behind Drag Storytime. The hosts explain it is a medium for literacy and education. They challenge his assumptions about gender and the harm of diverse representation. Why do some fear the simple act of reading?

    James in the United Kingdom asks why atheist groups are needed in the USA. Sofia and Maxine detail the rise of Christian nationalism in Texas schools and the blurring lines of church and state. How different would life be if the law was tied to a Bible?

    Zach asks about the trans experience. The hosts discuss gender identity beyond biological coin flips and the importance of personal authenticity over religious-style feelings. Is gender an internal conviction or a societal box?

    Michelle in NY discusses starting drag and critiques the Jesus character versus modern Christian nationalist interpretations. The hosts validate her identity and discuss political hijacking of narratives. Can we find truth in historical fiction?
